The dark nights are coming on, and the
little bridge fronting the millinery store OPP
posite the Odd-Fellows Hall will gets it,
work in, unless the street Commissioners
have it repaired. 1t is as pretty place to
break an unsuspecting leg as could be desir-
ed by the doctors.
The Arcadia College opened the present
term on the LIST inst, with a larger number
of pupils than ever before on the first day.
The number will be increased during the
month. We are glad to know that the COL
lege is constantly increasing its attendance.
The Sisters certainly deserve success.
Once more we call attention to the fact that
now is an excellent time to fix up the side
walk in front of the vacant lot south of AL
bert's shop. so that when the wet season
comes wayfarers need fear no damage in
that particular place. Let the proper author
ity attend to this matter, and next fall and
winter will call him blessed.
On Tuesday the State Veterinary Surgeon
complained on behalf of the State against D..
Y. Jones for allowing Texas cattle Objected
with the Texas fever) the privilege Of the
range south of Arcadia, and an order was
made commanding Sheriff Whitworth to
cause the cattle. to be quarantined, which
order he at once proceeded to execute.
Thieves were busy Monday night. Mrs.
Rapp's dwelling in Ironton was entered, and
money, a gold watch and other articles taken
therefrom. Capt. Peck's residence, in Ar
cadia, was also burgIarized, and a sum of
money stolen. AS usual, the victims have
no idea of the identity of the burglars, and
their discovery and punishment can scarcely
be expected.
Don't forget the Oyster and ce-Cream
set-up at the Academy of Music Friday
evening. The boys are too young as band
to give you much classical music, but the
eating lpart Of the programme will be rem
dered in exquisite style. The band needs
a new bass drum and cymbals, and you will
help good thing by contributing your mite.
Go and see the boys Friday evening.
Mr.. P. w. Schneider is arranging for an
other "break up" out at his works, and, as
starter, has sunk shaft As feet from the
bottom of the present quarry, and is now
running tunnel east fifteen feet, and one
north ten feet. All will be perfected in
about one month. The exact date of touch
ing off the mine will be given as soon as de-
termined, and the public generally, is invit-
ed to witness the eruption.
SToLEN-On the night of September 5th,
from the residence of NJ. Rapp, Lady's
Gold Watch and Chain, described as follows:
Hunting case, James Parrott's make; chain,
fine links, double vest with round slide; or
nament, open fan with ruby set; cross, gold,
black enameled. Also, pair of shoes, one
handbag and one valise, with various trink-
cts, among them lot of blanks of the firm
OF Baird & Robb, of 1903 Olive St., st. Louis,
Mo. Also, lot of cards of st. Louis Corset
Co. The same were the property Of Mrs.
Agnes Mckay. Considerable sum of money
and pair of shoes belonging to Mrs. Rapp
were also stolen.
Louis Giovanoni isn't as handsome as he
was, but, taking it all-in-all, he is pretty
well satisfied that it was no worse. While
extracting shell from bis Winchester last
Friday morning, he feared no evil and per-
ceived no danger; yet the shell exploded,
exploding also another yet in the gun. The
bullet flew past his head into the ceiling
above, and his face was filled with powder
grains. The doctor has been putting in his
spare time ever since, extracting the disfig-
uring particles, and ut this writing Mr..
Giovsnoni's face promises to soon resume
its wonted beauty. just now, however, it
may be as well not to joke the sufferer too
roughly, except at distance.

post office for the month ending September
